D3418

D3418 is a code used by dental professionals to identify a specific dental procedure: placement of a localized delivery of an oral antibiotic, such as a gel, into a periodontal pocket to treat gum disease. This procedure involves applying the medication directly into areas where gum infection or inflammation is present, aiming to reduce bacteria and promote healing. It is typically performed as part of periodontal therapy and helps manage periodontal disease in a targeted manner without the need for more invasive procedures.
